A buddy of mine had bought a G20 with a VE swap in it.......He just wanted it as a daily driver so he left it completely stock.......last week he blew out the bottom end and he wants to scrap it out.......I want to know if i can fit the VE head onto my DE block and will it work?

Yeah, VE heads on DE's work and rock! I'd hit up Google too to try to find a write-up. I know I read through one somewhere.

That's cool. So It's just drop and go.....I don't really have to do any modifying? I bought it just incase but I didn't want to attempt the swap just incase it took some crazy work to put it in.

There's something about extra oil feed for the VE head. I don't remember the specifics and where I read the guide though, otherwise I'd link you to it.
